ABSTRACT:
A scanning surface microscope is disclosed which includes a unit for moving a sample, and a micro-balance whose balance bar is provided with a probe-tip and an electrode at both ends thereof, to convert the irregularities of a sample surface facing the probe-tip into the displacement of the balance bar by utilizing a force generated between the probe-tip and the sample surface. The movement of the electrode indicative of the displacement of the balance bar is detected to obtain the topography of the sample surface.
